Interesting Facts: The Immortality of 'A Kind of Magic'
'A Kind of Magic' was a pivotal album for Queen, arriving at the height of their renewed popularity following their legendary 1985 Live Aid performance. Many of the album’s tracks, including "Princes Of The Universe," "Gimme The Prize," and the title track, were specifically written for the movie Highlander, giving the album a cohesive, epic narrative feel centered on themes of immortality and heroism. The single "One Vision" was a powerful, politically charged anthem (though originally written about the band's Live Aid experience) that demonstrated their capacity for massive, uplifting rock. The 2011 Digital Remaster is part of Queen's definitive catalog re-release series, ensuring the music is presented with the best possible audio fidelity for modern playback, honoring the legacy of Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon.
